Column
On the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Influence
The OSI’s intent to disinform
Received responses that were less than warm.
The Pentagon now says it doesn’t need
An office just to lie and to mislead.

The notion that the brass know what they’re doing.Calvin Trillin

Condolences to Musharraf
What the Islamic fascists do, and what they believe, and what they intend, are three aspects of the same one-dimensional thing. It is ludicrous to accuse them of being untrue to themselves or their cause. The usual rush to "understand" Pervez Musharraf’s difficulties seems to supply a partial explanation for this moral feebleness.
